Woo-hooooo!!!! VICTORY FOR THE TRUE RIGHT!!

VVD-VVD-VVD-VVD-VVD

According to the BBC the "Party for the Animals" won two seats...

Proportional representation has a lot to answer for!

It has a flip side.

At least, the Dutch has the option of voting for Animal Rights. Just two voting options would be no option, because one of them almost always if to different from your own views.

It could also be a vote out of desparation. (i mean, a protest vote because al the 'main' parties screwed up)

if = is

I must have missed your reply, red house. How about, "good morning, you sexy sexy-legged beast, you." that seems like a good, endearing starting place.

"Goeiemorgen, jij met je sexy, sexy-benen jij". Something like that, but it doesn't have the same ring to it. I think the words "Vlaanderen is een opstandige Nederlandse provincie" would be a real turn on though. Try that.

I will let you know how it goes!

Fantastic.

Uh, dubmdell... lol.

Well /that/ didn't go as I expected. First she gave me this really funny look, like she didn't expect me to be saying something in Dutch. Or maybe because I butchered the pronunciation. So I said it again. Louder. And then she started laughing (that's when I knew something was wrong). After about two minutes of her laughing, she told me what I had said. THEN she slapped me. -_-

Why would you say something you don't understand that someone told you to say? :P
Have you never been joshed by foreign friends before?

:Facepalm:

If it's not clear by now, opstandige mean rebellious.

The sentence I gave you is typically one you would say really loudly to a Belgian person, so I congratulate you.

Ik heb PVDD gestemd en nu hebben ze twee zetels.. hoe kan ik dit ongedaan maken?

I repent for my sins..


Wat dachten jullie van een leuke live-game met een groep nederlanders?

Yes, well hopefully it will all make an amusing anecdote and she'll agree to coffee.

So Is this election news good or bad for your nation, red?

It's very bad.. unfortunately. SP lost due some reagen-wannabe ass-wipe and our premier is some shithead looking like a schoolboy who constantly laughs nervously and doesn't know what to do.

SP lost? I didn't get that memo.

dub, the problem with our politicians is that they hate each other too much nowadays to make rational decisions. The rational thing to do now is to construct a broad center right government, but it won't be possible... :-(

@ redhouse

Do your politicians really hate each other? Aside from a few notable exceptions the ones in Britain generally get on really well when out of the media spotlight. This happens pretty much at all levels of politics, from Westminster all the way down to the youth groups. At university the annual Conservative vs Labour paintball tournament was one of the highlights of the year :). The President of the Conservatives and the President of the Lib Dems on campus were two of my room mates and got on famously.

Happy days...
